Manhattan , NY
The first institution to move into the area was New York Hospital, which began purchasing land in 1816 to establish the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum (on the present-day campus of Columbia University) and the Leake and Watts Orphan Asylum (on the present-day campus of St. John the Divine) in 1821 and 1834, respectively. The stigma of an insane asylum, compounded by inadequate transit access to the area, hindered other development until the late 19th century, when the hospital auctioned off its real estate holdings and relocated to White Plains in favor of more space and fresher air. The asylum's relocation prompted a flurry of development by other institutions intent on expansion, starting with the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in 1887 and followed by St. Luke's Hospital, Columbia College and Teacher's College in 1892.
The introduction of the subway into Morningside Heights in 1904, coupled with the neighborhood's magnificent parks and prestigious institutions, led to a frenzy of speculative apartment house construction, attracting middle-class residents who could now commute directly downtown to work. Even before the advent of zoning regulations for land use, developers erected rowhouses and modest apartment buildings on the side streets and grand apartment houses on the avenues, with particularly monumental examples on Riverside Drive, Claremont Avenue and Cathedral Parkway, and mixed-use commercial buildings along Broadway, giving the neighborhood a heterogeneous yet cohesive character. Morningside Heights' unorthodox yet distinctive sense of place comes from the coexistence of residential and institutional clusters, as exemplified by elegant rowhouses and apartment buildings just steps away from renowned academic institutions and houses of worship.

NYSVA's mission is to save vape shops in New York and the manufacturers and distributors that supply them. As of January 2018, there were 700+ vape shops, with 2700 employees and hundreds of thousands of consumers that rely on their local vape stores to help keep them from smoking cigarettes.
Even before the founding of NYSVA in 2017, board members were activists for the vaping industry in New York. Realizing that to earn a "seat at the table" in Albany, the group formally became a lobbying trade association in New York, New York City and registered with the attorney generals of every county. NYSVA, together with retained lobbyist firm, Dickinson & Avella, PLLC, educate legislators and administration on the value of vapor product businesses in New York and the science that supports the importance of vaping to the health of their constituents.

This means that the NYSVA can offer assistance, and testimony when necessary, on behalf of the industry in your local communities. If there's anti-vaping legislation at any level in NY state, the NYSVA will be prepared and willing to assist it's members in the fight against any regulations that will negatively affect vaping in NY state.
NYSVA is an Affiliated Independent Group (AIG) of the national trade association, SFATA.org, which represents the interests of independent vape shops and vapor product businesses federally. This affiliation provides NYSVA members with a voice in Washington, DC.

Q: How to receive a value from a service in IONIC 4? I am developing an App in IONIC that receives values from the database through an API in Laravel, I get the value in the service but I can not pass this value to another page where I am calling the service
My function in service looks like this:
get(){
const headers = new HttpHeaders({
      'Authorization': this.token["token_type"]+" "+this.token["access_token"]
    });
return new Promise ((resolve)=>{
     this.http.get(this.env.API_URL+'auth/get',{ headers: headers }).subscribe((result:any)=>{
      this.date = result; //thats ok
      console.log(this.date);
      return this.date;
    },
    (error)=>{
      console.log(error);
    });
   });
}

The function I call Service is this:
showdata(){
this.authService.getReuniao().then((response)=>
    {
      this.data_r = response;
    })
    .catch((response)=>{
      this.data_r = JSON.stringify(response);
    });
console.log('didn't enter...');
}

But it doesn't even come in then and it falls straight out. Am I getting it wrong ???

A: Try this way.
getReuniao(): Observable<any> {

return this.http.get<any>( this.env.API_URL+'auth/getreuniao')
.pipe(
retry(1),
catchError(this.handleError)
)

};
Work with errors in the the same service.ts:
handleError(error) {
let errorMessage = '';
if(error.error instanceof ErrorEvent) {
// Get client-side error
errorMessage = error.error.message;
} else {
// Get server-side error
errorMessage = `Error Code: ${error.status}\nMessage: ${error.message}`;
}
window.alert(errorMessage);
return throwError(errorMessage);
}

Now let's call the api service. Don't forget to add the service to providers and call it on the construct.
this.api.getReuniao().subscribe(data=>{ console.log("data:" + data)}, error=>{ console.log("error: " + error});

Use Subscribe instead with observable.

This text emphasizes the relevance of research methods for the everyday lives of its readers: undergraduate students. Using a variety of examples from published sociological research, this text also aims to provide balanced coverage of qualitative and quantitative approaches.
This book is an accessible explanation of why the coming years will probably be the Age of Biology, and what this will mean to most every aspect of our society. Kelly is a guide who explains the implications of this rapidly evolving revolution.
The book examines the popular knowledges that saturate our everyday experience. We make this information and then it shapes the way we see the world. How valid is it when compared to official knowledge and why it causes so much institutional anxiety?


we were sent to St. Petersburg for surgery to restore her hearing. There doctors found that Marina had a large tumor – a cholesteatoma, which had already managed to damage the inner ear and destroy her auditory bones. The tumor was removed, but, as it turned out, not completely. It began to increase again, which can lead to serious infections of the brain, even meningitis. Doctors were not able to restore her ear canal. We then turned to a hospital abroad, where doctors, in a single operation, will be able to restore the ear canal and ear drum, remove the tumor, and create a new ear out of advanced synthetic material called a Medpor implant. In other hospitals, it takes at least five operations for this to work. Marina will be able to hear! This is what we want most, but our dream can only be realized with your help! Irina Ankudinova, Vologda region.
To save eleven-year-old Marina 6,750 USD is needed.
The cost of Marina's treatment is 81,000 USD. We are happy to report that Rusfond has raised the entire amount needed. Marina is expected at the hospital in March. However, an additional 6,750 USD is required for her and her mother's accommodations, food, local transportation, and other associated expenses for the duration of their stay in the USA. Dear friends! If you want to help Marina please don't let the cost stop you. Your donation in any amount will be gratefully accepted. You can contribute to Rusfond USA using PayPal or by sending a check made payable to Rusfond USA and mailing it to Rusfond USA, 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 300, New York, NY 10170. Thank you! All donations in excess of what is needed for Marina will help other children in need of ear surgery.
California Ear Institute Otolaryngologist Joseph Roberson, MD (Palo Alto, USA): "We will eliminate the auditory canal atresia and congenital hypoplasia pinna with one surgery. We will completely remove the cholesteatoma and also restore the physiology of the ear, the girl will be able to hear and develop like all healthy children her age."
Irina, mother of Marina Ankudinova: "Our sincere appreciation and profound gratitude for helping to fund Marina's operation. For us it is a huge amount, we would never have been able to raise it on our own. When we learned that doctors from the United States can help our daughter, we appealed to many charities, but received one rejection after another… But one fine day, when we got a call from Rusfond, we began to believe in a miracle, and that, for Marina, everything will be all right. Already on March 9th our daughter will have her operation. Together with "Channel One" television viewers, you offered us not only help. We now have become much stronger and have come to believe that there are no hopeless situations, that there are many more good people in the world than it seems at first glance. Many thanks to everyone for your kindness, your contribution and for caring about what happens to Marina, thank you for holding out a helping hand in our time of need. We bow to all of you, wish you good health and all the best. We sincerely believe that kindness and generosity will return to you a hundredfold. We are grateful we have you! God bless you! With respect and great appreciation, the Ankudinova family."


Maine Secretary of State Charlie Summers stops into the polls at the Bangor Civic Center Tuesday morning to visit election officials and voters before making his way to Scarborough.
Candidates for the 2nd Congressional District Democrat Michael Michaud and Republican Kevin Raye face off in a debate in 2002. Raye and Michaud will compete for the same seat a second time this year.
AUGUSTA, Maine — After Democrats threw their biggest names into the mix for Olympia Snowe's soon-to-be vacated U.S. Senate seat earlier this week, Republicans were the newsmakers on Friday. Five members of the GOP took out petitions for a Senate run, joining previously declared Republican candidate Scott D'Amboise in the race.
Secretary of State Charlie Summers became the first Republican to take out petitions after Snowe announced Tuesday that she would not seek a fourth term. Treasurer Bruce Poliquin followed close behind Friday afternoon, then former Maine Senate President Rick Bennett and state Sen. Debra Plowman. Attorney General William Schneider joined the race late Friday.
Summers, of Scarborough, was a longtime member of Snowe's staff and an unsuccessful candidate for the U.S. House in 2008.
Bennett, of Oxford, lost a U.S. House race to John Baldacci in 1994 and has been out of politics for about a decade. However, he has been a player behind the scenes and is the Republican National Committeeman from Maine.
Plowman, of Hampden, had been exploring a run for the U.S. House but now says she's considering a run for the U.S. Senate.
Schneider served in the Legislature and the U.S. Army.
"America is at an economic cross-roads — we are spending too much and our job climate continues to suffer," he said in a statement. "The independent and self-reliant spirit of Maine can and should serve as an example to the rest of the country. Having served in the United States Army and as Attorney General, I understand the importance of discipline, hard work, and making the tough decisions to get our economy back on track.
Poliquin, who lives in Georgetown, did not return a call for comment.
In the three-plus days that have passed since Snowe declared she wouldn't seek a fourth term, the Senate race — and the two U.S. House races — have started to come into focus.
But things are far from settled and likely will not be until the filing deadline for party candidates on March 15.
The race that was most clarified late Thursday night and early Friday morning was the 2nd District U.S. House race.
Essentially, things are back where they started.
Democratic Rep. Mike Michaud and his Republican challenger Kevin Raye, the Maine Senate president, both said they would forgo the Senate campaign and remain opponents for the U.S. House.
Raye said: "It has been an extraordinary two and a half days since Olympia Snowe announced her unexpected retirement from the U.S. Senate. During that time, my wife Karen and I have been overwhelmed by the many kind expressions of support and encouragement we have received from friends and supporters across Maine.
Michaud's decision leaves U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, who represents Maine's 1st District, and Baldacci, a four-term U.S. House member and two-term governor, as front-runners to be the Democratic nominee in the Senate race.
Former Secretary of State and U.S. Senate candidate Matt Dunlap, a Democrat, had taken out papers to run for the House but said Friday that Michaud's decision effectively takes him out of that race. He plans to stay in the Senate race at least until March 15.
Other Democratic Senate candidates include state Sen. Cynthia Dill of Cape Elizabeth and Benjamin Pollard, a Portland home builder, who were in the mix before Snowe made her decision.
Raye's decision paved the way for Summers, Poliquin, Bennett, Plowman, Schneider and maybe others.
Republican-turned-independent Andrew Ian Dodge also is in, along with three little-known independents — Aaron Marston, Verne Paradie Jr. and Julia Carlson — who took out petition papers this week.
Two big-name Republicans — former gubernatorial candidates Peter Cianchette and Steve Abbott — took their names out of consideration late this week.
The decisions by Michaud and Raye also prompted some prospective 2nd District candidates to bow out. Emily Cain, the Maine House minority leader, announced late Thursday that she would not run for the U.S. House.
Bruce Bryant, a former Democratic state senator from Dixfield, also dropped out of consideration for the 2nd District seat.
The expected exit of Pingree from the 1st District House race could open the door for several Democrats.
Already, six have secured petitions: Barry Hobbins, the state Senate minority leader; Sen. Phil Bartlett of Gorham; Rep. Jon Hinck of Portland; David Lemoine, former state treasurer; Wellington Lyons; and David Costa. Hinck had been a Senate candidate, but switched Friday to the House.
Another name that has been mentioned is Hannah Pingree, former Maine House speaker and Chellie's daughter.
On the Republican side, only Patrick Calder had declared before this week. However, since Snowe's decision and since Pingree has expressed strong interest in the Senate seat, three Republicans have begun the signature-gathering process: Jonathan Courtney, the Senate majority leader; Markham Gartley; and John Vedral.
Party candidates for the U.S. Senate must turn in 2,000 signatures to the Secretary of State's Office by March 15. House candidates must submit 1,000.
Two prominent independents, former Gov. Angus King and former gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler, are contemplating entering the Senate race. Both have said they plan to make a decision by next week.
Secretary of State Summers addressed a question that popped up shortly after he announced his intent to gather signatures for the Senate race: Can the state's top elections official run for office and keep his day job?
The answer is yes. Summers said there is nothing in Maine statute that requires him to step down, but he said there needs to be a clear separation between his job as a constitutional officer and his role as a candidate.

Auguste Mollard, né à Grenoble le , mort à Saint-Péreuse (Nièvre), le , est un orfèvre et peintre sur émail français du , créateur du procédé de fabrication d'émaux dits translucides. Il appartient à une dynastie d'orfèvres et horlogers grenoblois.

Biographie
Auguste Mollard, dont le Dictionnaire Bénézit précise qu'il exposa au Salon en 1865 et 1874, était installé 6, Place de la Bourse, à Paris.

Il est le fils de Pierre-Joseph Mollard (1805-1875), orfèvre à Grenoble et le petit-fils de Joseph Mollard (né en 1765) lui-même issu d'une longue lignée d'orfèvres et de maîtres horlogers qui semble débuter avec Jacques Mollard, actif à Grenoble entre 1693 et 1717.

Ce que confirment F. Apolloni et M. Tazzoli : « Le bijoutier Mollard aurait réussi aussi à faire des émaux à jour vers 1855  », ainsi que Françoise Cailles et Jean-Norbert Salit.

Il fut le maître de Paul Grandhomme auquel il enseigna l'art de l'émaillerie, et qui devient avec Alfred Meyer « le principal fournisseur des bijoutiers-orfèvres parisiens. »
On lui doit la poignée d'une épée d'honneur offerte à  (1915).

Famille
Auguste Mollard était le frère de Joseph (Gabriel-Hippolyte) Mollard (1833-1888), introducteur des ambassadeurs auprès du Président de la République, directeur du protocole au Ministère des affaires étrangères de 1874 à 1888 ; son fils Armand Mollard (1862-1930), ministre plénipotentiaire, ancien ambassadeur de France au Luxembourg, chef du protocole au Ministère des Affaires étrangères (1902-1913) avait été spécialement chargé de la réception officielle de la flotte russe à Toulon (13-]. Peintre, graveur et dessinateur, [élève de Blanc-Fontaine], Joseph Mollard est l'auteur d'un recueil d'eaux-fortes sur le Dauphiné, paru en 1861 chez Cadart à Paris. On lui doit aussi L'Album comique des Affaires étrangères, collection de caricatures au fusain publiée en 1869, où il groupa les portraits pittoresques d'une centaine de ses collègues. Joseph Mollard réalisa aussi une caricature de Berlioz en 1855. Son buste (terre cuite) a été réalisé par Ernest Guilbert.

Auguste et Joseph Mollard avaient pour sœur Amélie (1859-1929), née à Grenoble, elle aussi peintre qui, d'après Bénézit, après avoir suivi les cours de Madame Camille Isbert (1825-1911), spécialiste des portraits miniatures, débuta au Salon avec des Portraits, en 1879.

Auguste, Joseph et Amélie Mollard étaient cousins des peintres Jules Flandrin (1871-1947) et Henri Blanc-Fontaine (1819-1897) dont les grands-parents Fontaine, de Grenoble, avaient été liés à Senancour (dont Blanc-Fontaine réalisa le portrait en 1843) et à Rétif de La Bretonne.

De son mariage avec Constance Defosse (1849-1937), fille de Jean-François Defosse (1814-1871), huissier de justice à Moulins-Engilbert (Nièvre), naquit une fille, Jeanne Mollard (1873-1949), dont le buste fut aussi réalisé par le sculpteur Ernest Guilbert.

Most people don't desire to rent dumpsters unless they absolutely have to. Sometimes, though, it becomes obvious that you have to rent a dumpster in Arlington for commercial and residential projects.
Most cities WOn't haul away building debris for you. It's your duty to be sure you have an appropriate container to collect discarded stuff from remodeling endeavors. Even in the event you just have a little project, municipal waste management is not likely to haul the debris away.
A major clean out can collect more garbage than a normal receptacle can carry. Renting a modest dumpster is a more suitable choice which will prevent making multiple trips to the neighborhood dump.
If you have one of these endeavors in mind, then you understand it's time to look for a trusted service in Arlington.
While roll off dumpsters are typically left on location, front load dumpsters will come pick up debris on a set schedule. This makes it possible for sterilization professionals to eliminate garbage and crap for multiple homes and companies in the area at affordable costs.
Whether or not you need a permanent or roll-off dumpster depends on the type of job and service you'll need. Long-Term dumpster service is for continuous demands that last longer than just a few days. This includes things like day-to-day waste and recycling needs. Temporary service is precisely what the name implies; a one-time need for project-specific waste removal.
Temporary roll off dumpsters are delivered on a truck and are rolled off where they'll be properly used. These are typically bigger containers that may handle all the waste that comes with that particular job. Long-Term dumpsters are usually smaller containers since they're emptied on a regular basis and so don't need to hold as much at one time.
Should you request a long-lasting dumpster, some businesses require at least a one-year service agreement for this dumpster. Rolloff dumpsters just require a rental fee for the time that you maintain the dumpster on the job.
5. Find out what services you get with your in Arlington.
Front -load and roll-off dumpsters have different designs that make them useful in various ways. Understanding more about them will help you choose an alternative that is right for your job.
Front-load dumpsters have mechanical arms that can lift heavy things. It is a convenient alternative for projects that include a lot of heavy items like appliances and concrete. They are also good for emptying commercial dumpsters like the sort restaurants use.
Roll off dumpsters are generally the right alternative for commercial and residential projects like repairing a roof, remodeling a basement, or including a room to your residence. They have doors that swing open, letting you walk into the dumpster. They also have open tops that let you throw debris into the container. Rental companies will typically leave a roll-off dumpster at your job place for several days or weeks. It is a convenient alternative for both small and big projects.
Planning ahead for your in Arlington will make your project easier and safer to finish on time. When renting a dumpster in Arlington, follow these tips to help you plan ahead.

Hero CPL rakes in US$25M in Guyana matches
By Azad Ali Posted on March 18, 2019

The Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) is claiming that the 2018 edition, which took place between Aug. 8 and Sept. 16, raked in US$25,515,816 in Guyana — an 80 percent increase on the 2017 figure.
CPL, said in a recent press release, the figure was calculated using organizer spend, visitor spend and media value, which was collated for CPL by world-renowned researchers, SMG Insight.
In addition to that economic impact figure, the Hero CPL created 486 jobs in Guyana. Also the tournament filled 7,654 hotel rooms during the event with even more focus on the country with a record of seven matches taking placed in Guyana in 2018.
CPL said: "There was significant value for Guyana in terms of the country being given exposure through the television broadcast. The total media exposure for Guyana has been calculated at US$8.2 million more than double that of 2017."
The Hero CPL spent US$1,290,000 in Guyana during the 2018 event with more than 43 percent of that figure going to local staff and suppliers. This was a significant increase from 2010 where CPL spent US$978,000.

View Full Version : Has anyone here ever played with a Stenback cue? Cue maker from Sparta ,WI.
I just have to ask, what are you looking for in a cue that you have not been able to find yet????
I can't afford anything that I would be really happy with. I should probably just buy one of those Players HXT cues, that come standard with a Kamui soft tip. That might be best for a really poor person like me, that just wants a decent cue to shoot with (that I would be able to hold on to).
Those might be decent enough to make me happy. I do not know though. I never thought much of the Players brand. They might make a really decent hitting cue these days though.
I have a 1969 Joss we can work out a deal on, instead.
I'm gonna quit telling you about those $100 full splice sneakies from Schmelke as they seem to be to high priced for you. Another good cue that might be in your range is a McDermott Lucky @ Seyberts for $47.50. I think there are 5 colors to choose from & they are really good playing cues. Seyberts has a finance plan called "Affirm". You can receive the cue now & pay in 3, 6, or 12 monthly installments. Just google Seybert's Billiards layaway plan!
How many cues have you owned in the last 3 years? I'd guess enough to pay for a searing if you combined them all.
Thanks for the advice. I always thought that the McDermott Lucky cues might hit decent, because they do come with their standard 3/8x10 joint, which I like. I also been thinking of getting one of Dale Perry's ebay cues. They are nice looking (in my opinion), and they come with a Radial pin joint (which is my favorite joint on cues). I know that the quality is not that great, but for $130, you get a decent cue for the money (considering the average decent custom cues these days is at least $500, on average, I think). I did apply for the Seyberts credit awhile back, but was declined. Darned unpaid medical bills have ruined my credit (like the $900 that I was recently charged for 2 minuted with a PA at the ER, to get some antibiotics for a dental infection that I had, because I did not have $200 to pay an Urgent Care center up front for a visit). Not having good medical insurance really screws a person in life. I know, I only have myself to blame.
Lol, that is funny. Yeah, maybe if I had saved my pennies up for the last 3 years, I might have enough saved for a good cue, that I would love.
Lol, so you know his Joss cue? It is nice? I assume so, and I assume that I can't afford it. I am sure he was kidding anyways.
I think I must have found it on ebay (or online somewhere). Maybe facebook. I can't remember. Many custom cues actually are very cheap on the used market, but I have learned that you get what you pay for.
Thanks for the advice. I always thought that the McDermott Lucky cues might hit decent, because they do come with their standard 3/8x10 joint, which I like.
I haven't hit with one myself, but if you are considering the Lucky line, you may want to look at Viking's Valhalla series. They are roughly the same price and they actually come with a lifetime warrantee including warping which the Lucky line doesn't cover. That is a very respectable warrantee, especially for such an inexpensive cue.
I have a one of a kind OB cue for sale. Heck I might even let you make payments on it. It's great.
Good luck on cue hunting. It's tough to find anything for the right price now.
Viking makes a really nice hitting cue. Not sure if their import line is decent though. I like the Mcdermott lucky cues because they come with the wood to wood joint, same as their standard line. I assume their shaft taper is not that great though (compared to their standard more expensive made in America line), on the lucky cues.
Get a Lucky cue and a good shaft for it. You can get a used OB and it will be just fine to use for a long time. Or an HXT and stop with looking at every other cue you see out there. You must have driven your parents crazy when young with all the ads on TV. MOOMMMM, I NEED that Smurfs Ultra Deluxe House!! Mooommm, now I NEED the Smurfs Super Ultra Deluxe House model B!! Mom, I sold my house for candy at school, can you buy me another?
[QUOTE=justinb386;5938382]I can't afford anything that I would be really happy with. I should probably just buy one of those Players HXT cues, that come standard with a Kamui soft tip. That might be best for a really poor person like me, that just wants a decent cue to shoot with (that I would be able to hold on to).
Hey Justin I PMed you about a cue you can have.

Q: Rails: Stylesheets/Javascripts work in Dev, not Prod As a RoR newbie I've been reading/trying to understand how the asset pipeline works, and how it affects development vs. production when it comes to making my stylesheets/javascripts available to my app, but I'm still confused.
In my app, I call frequently used CSS/JS files from my application.css/.js files, and then explicitly call other .css/.js files as needed, for example:
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'reset.css',"application",'bootstrap.min.css', 'bootstrap-responsive.min.css','font-awesome.css','http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Raleway:400,600,700', 'fancybox.css' %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application", 'modernizr.js', 'bootstrap.js'%>

This works just fine in development, but once I push my code to production, the explicitly called .css/.js files no longer work.  If I view source, I see that the files are being properly called into the page.
What step(s) am I missing in order to make this work in production? Thank you for your time and assistance.
UPDATE:
Per Martin M's suggestion, I added in the .css/.js to my config/environments/production.rb.
For example:
config.assets.precompile += %w(reset.css grepfrut.css jquery-ui.css base-admin.css reports.css signin.css daterangepicker.css bootstrap.min.css bootstrap-responsive.min.css font-awesome.css fancybox.css)
config.assets.precompile += %w(modernizr.js bootstrap.js ddsmoothmenu.js wice_grid.js date.js daterangepicker.js signin.js)

I then re-precompiled and while I see the files in my public/assets, the javascripts are still not working, and some of the CSS doesn't work in Chrome.  I've tried clearing everything out of the browsers and still trying Chrome, Firefox and Safari doesn't work.
Not sure if its worth mentioning, but I'm currently forced to run this in Ruby 1.8.7-p370 due to my hosting provider.  I'll be moving to a more RoR-friendly provider later.
Thanks again.

A: Assets (js and css) that are not loaded by application.css and application.js are not automatically compiled by rake assets:precompile.
You have to explicitly include them by saying in config/environment/production.rb:
  config.assets.precompile += %w(reset.css bootstrap.min.css bootstrap-responsive.min.css font-awesome.css fancybox.css)
  config.assets.precompile += %w(modernizr.js bootstrap.js)

There is a commented example in the generated production.rb.
This is a bit confusing, because in development the assets are loaded any way.
And yes, you have to run rake assets:precompile every time you change a bit in your css/js.

A: You should probably run rake assets:precompile in order to make it work in production.

Home / Category "Miscellaneous" / What symptoms has emphysema?
Emphysema, the symptoms of which are quite easily recognize, can occur for many reasons. But to correctly diagnose the illness and prescribe treatment can only a doctor.
Due to poor ecological situation on the planet from respiratory failure suffers from a lot of people. Emphysema is a condition of the body in which tissue in the lung is stretched and cannot shrink. Consequently, the output of carbon dioxide from the blood and the supply of it oxygen is disturbed. Tissue in the lungs, feel the oxygen deprivation and begin to die. The disease can hurt the lungs as a whole or only some parts.
In order to understand the nature of the disease, you need to determine which form carries the disease. Emphysema is primary and secondary. In the first case it develop as a separate disease, and in the second, as a complication after the transferred diseases of lungs. As a rule, the causes of secondary emphysema is a chronic bronchitis or bronchial asthma. A significant role in the development of the disease play an illness of the lungs (tuberculosis), as well as Smoking, working in heavily polluted areas and genetic propensity.
Emphysema is a serious disease, and if time does not begin treatment, the person may appear not only breathing but also heart failure. Disease a long period can proceed unnoticed, but then be shown in running form, in this case without surgical intervention to manage is unlikely to succeed. The risk of developing emphysema is increased in people after 55 years, most often the disease kills men. Perhaps this gender susceptibility to disease due to the greater popularity of Smoking among men than among women.
About the existence of such diseases as emphysema, many people do not know, yet do not collide, and the symptoms and consequences of it rather unpleasant. Symptoms of emphysema is always pronounced, and is rarely confused with a manifestation of some other disease.
The majority of patients says that the symptoms of emphysema they began to recognize in the forced position of the body - the abdomen, which they had to adopt to get relief from suffocation. Man that is sick with emphysema, had to sleep sitting up, as the horizontal position brings discomfort and become a cause of severe tightness in the chest.
swelling of the supraclavicular region.
The main symptom of emphysema is shortness of breath, usually they occur after little physical activity and initially is intermittent.
With the development of the disease it will increase, and at the slightest tension, the patient will experience asthma. People that suffer from emphysema, frequently acute, grabbing breaths and long exhalations. Sometimes, even with closed lips, they can feel the exhale. Watching the breastbone of the patient, it can be noted that with the development of the disease it is less and less involved in the respiratory process. In most cases the respiratory movement exercise additional muscles of the neck and chest.
At the location of the disease such as emphysema, the symptoms may vary slightly. For example, if the disease has touched the pulmonary artery, the patient constantly feels a sudden pain in the chest, increased sweating, decreased blood pressure, cough and hemoptysis. In the case when emphysema is localized in the carotid artery, the man accompanied by headaches and dizziness, disturbed coordination of movements, may develop dizziness and a speech impediment. If the disease involved mezenterialna artery, the patient feels a burning pain in the abdomen, bloating as well as liquid and bloody stool.
Hurt renal artery leads to the kidney pain, red urine and oliguria (reduced amount of urine). The worst symptoms are signs of disease of arteries of the extremities. As a result, people will not be able to make any physical actions of the affected limb, possible signs of gangrene on the extremities will appear dark spots or bubbles with the liquid.
If you think you have emphysema, you should address to the doctor pulmonologist, who will be able after their medical history, make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment.
Diagnosis of emphysema involves a set of procedures that accurately determine the stage of the disease.
analysis of gas composition of blood and polycythemia.
Treatment of emphysema is oxygen, i.e., inhalation of air with high oxygen levels, and, of course, breathing exercises.
The intensity of drug therapy depends on the symptoms often antibiotics can be combined with expectorants and methods of folk medicine. In severe cases doctors have to resort to surgery.
In order for treatment to be effective, the patient must actively participate in the treatment process. The first thing he should do is stop Smoking and reduce physical activity your body, it is possible to change jobs if it is one of the reasons for the development of the disease.
In no case do not self-medicate and do not tighten the visit to the doctor.
Emphysema is a disease, which in advanced forms can cause disability. In any case, you need to be prepared for the fact that completely cure emphysema does not work under any circumstances, as it causes irreversible changes in the human body. The disease can be maintained at the same level and not allow it to progress. People will be forced to take a combination of drugs prescribed by your doctor.
Physical activity can be the favorable outcome to reopen, but completely back to normal life is rare. Life expectancy person with emphysema depends on age, stage of the disease, as well as the degree of compensation of the pathological process of drug drugs. Predictions for people suffering from emphysema are very individual and depend on what care the patient will follow doctor's orders, and regardless of whether he is ready for the sake of his health to make sacrifices and give up some of their habits.

Support Group for Parents of LGBT Teens Starts July 8
Posted on: June 9th, 2015 by Mark Fangmeier
Lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender teens can always find support at The Bridge for Youth in the Twin Cities. The Bridge provides safe, emergency shelter for LGBT youth who may need a break from family when conflict at home intensifies.
LGBT teens who want to find like-minded peers, meet other LGBT kids in a confidential, safe place know that The Bridge for Youth's weekly support group, So What if I Am?, is the place to go. The group meets every Tuesday at The Bridge, with drop-in from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. and a facilitated group from 5:30 to 6:3o p.m.
Parents now have a place to find community as well. Beginning in July, an support group for parents of GLBT youth will launch at The Bridge. The drop-in group, funded by Headwaters Justice Foundation, will meet the first Tuesday of every month from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. at The Bridge.
"We found that many parents of LGBT teens feel isolated," said Joan Countryman, Outreach Manager at The Bridge. "Teens may not be ready to come out to peers and classmates. That makes it hard for parents to identify other parents to build connections with."
Parents now have a safe place to talk about how to support their LGBT teen. Safety is always a big discussion item. Other topics to be explored include having difficult conversations with family, school, and community, recognizing and identifying mental health issues, and helping your GLBT teen navigate crushes, dating, and sex.
The Bridge for Youth is located at 1111 West 22nd Street, Minneapolis. Services include emergency and long-term shelter for youth ages 10-17, free counseling for youth and families, and support groups.


On July 20th, Seattle police officers contacted the driver of a red Toyota van in the 1500 block of Occidental Avenue South after an automated license plate reader flagged the vehicle as having been reported stolen outside of Seattle.
The 61-year-old driver was uncooperative with investigating officers, who eventually detained the man and explained his vehicle had been reported stolen to the Washington Criminal Information Center (WACIC), and offered to show him the van's stolen vehicle entry in the WACIC database.
During his encounter with police, the man claimed the officers on-scene were part of a conspiracy against him and voiced concerns that his detainment was racially biased. He was interviewed and released pending further investigation. The man has since held a press conference to expand on his claims. The police contact, recorded by a patrol car's dashcam, can be viewed below.
The Seattle Police Department is firmly committed to constitutional policing and is reviewing the man's allegations in keeping with SPD's bias-free policing policies, developed in partnership with the Department of Justice and the Federal Monitoring Team.


Meet in the cafe, head to the office or Infoseed, depending on numbers.
I like ethics & morals as a laugh - but are we okay with presenting it to the world that way?
What about 'community issues?' Slightly less vague, or perhaps moreso?
I'm not particularly happy with 'community' either, but I really haven't come up with an alternative name that will be appropriate. I don't 'the non-politically aligned..' or 'ethics&morals' works.
I have no idea what kind of trees they are. At this point, I think it's a matter of delaying it until we know for sure why it's being done and whether that's a good reason (I suggest QM development is not a good reason, but who knows).
Where do these fire safety sheets live?
Also, can someone remind me if we agreed that Friday is fire alarm day?
Tuesday at 7 is good for me.
But one question: where are we planning of putting this bad boy?
Topic: knock knock ride there?
And I am looking for volunteers to keep me company, while everyone goes off to play!
No night manager = no events. Come help!
We also need other night time volunteers. Help...please??
Ah, I knew ya'll would know. Cheers!
Just wondering if anyone has advice on a good camera shop in the city. I need a new lens cap and a piece to make my battery charger work over here, so maybe I don't need a good camera shop at all, but if anyone has advice on where to go, I'd be mucho appreciative.
Or I will take my clothes off.
Dress up for sure. Can we have those girls/guys in sparkly outfits selling fancy cigarettes and other paraphenalia from boxes strapped round their necks???


We are happy to announce that our movie will have an original song soundtrack created by four bands! Rustic Overtones, ShaShaSha, Hessian, and Nate Soule (of The Mallett Brothers) were individually approached with an idea for a song and allowed 99% artistic license to do whatever they chose, as long as the music was "skateable" and contained a specific "clue" pertinent to the movie! Man, did these bands deliver! We were able to play all four tracks for our cast and extras at the 4.14.14 Happy Wheels shoot.
We are very excited to present this music to you in our film.


The long-snouted seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus) (Cuvier, 1829), was used to validate the predictive accuracy of three progressively realistic models for estimating the realized annual fecundity of asynchronous, indeterminate, multiple spawners. Underwater surveys and catch data were used to estimate the duration of the reproductive season, female spawning frequency, male brooding frequency, and batch fecundity. The most realistic model, a generalization of the spawning fraction method, produced unbiased estimates of male brooding frequency (mean ±standard deviation [SD]=4.2 ±1.6 broods/year). Mean batch fecundity and realized annual fecundity were 213.9 (±110.9) and 903.6 (±522.4), respectively. However, females prepared significantly more clutches than the number of broods produced by males. Thus, methods that infer spawning frequency from patterns in female egg production may lead to significant overestimates of realized annual fecundity. The spawning fraction method is broadly applicable to many taxa that exhibit parental care and can be applied nondestructively to species for which conservation is a concern.

Q: Records duplicated in Crystal Report after integrated with application I have designed a crystal report file. When i generating a report using preview option in crystal report. Report displayed distinct records (Database menu > select distinct records). I have integrated that report in my Java application. But when i generating a report in application, records are duplicated.
please help me to resolve this issue.

A: Are you adamant that's the reason what appear to be duplicate records are appearing?
I would recommend you run a trace on the server when you run the report in Crystal. Then run a trace when you run the report in your Java application. Are the query's different?

This was a great article I recently read and shared on my FB page from the Huffingtonpost.
The article and credits are fully intact.
"We have a huge family photo in our living room. Once it fell, back hanger came off, and I remember my daughter kept asking when I was going to hang it back up. You could tell she was very proud of it. We finally got it back up and she still talks of it. The light I see in her eyes when she looks at it and tells me that is her family. Of course we have lots of small family photos around as well but that one stands out because she hated when it fell and was so happy when we got it back up.
I love this article and agree wholeheartedly. Children want to belong, to see they are treasured. Heck, I even have a lot of love and pride when I see our family photos. They are very special".
Thanks Slyvia and give your daughter a hug from me!


During a medical emergency, depend on North Mississippi Medical Center to respond quickly with expert care. Our community hospitals and the Level II Trauma Center in Tupelo offer access to lifesaving services close to home 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The Mississippi State Department of Health designates NMMC-Tupelo as a Level II Trauma Center and Secondary Pediatric Trauma Center in the Mississippi Trauma Care System. NMMC-Tupelo is one of three Level II Trauma Centers in Mississippi and the only one in the north half of the state to earn this designation.
A Level II Trauma Center is an acute care facility with the commitment, resources and specialty training necessary to provide sophisticated trauma care. A Level II Trauma Center must also offer General Surgery; Neurological Surgery; Orthopedic Surgery; Emergency Medicine; Anesthesia; Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU); and an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Each Trauma Center maintains a Trauma Registry with up-to-date information.
The NMMC-Tupelo Emergency Department features 58 patient rooms, including seven for trauma, seven for cardiac care and two for otolaryngology cases. The NMMC-Tupelo Emergency Department also houses a Rapid Medical Evaluation Unit, located in the waiting area to rapidly screen, treat and disposition patients who present to the ED with minor acuity complaints.

The Mississippi State Department of Health designates NMMC hospitals in Amory, Eupora, Iuka, Pontotoc and West Point as Level IV Trauma Centers.


Prof.MM Pant and Dr. Ramesh Sharma with their passion for mobile lifelong learning have planned Meetups for Sundays from 10 am to 1 pm to deliberate over educational matters of relevance to the future, in particular in the context of readiness for the 4th Industrial revolution.
They are primarily designed to provide an opportunity to participants of members pursuing life-long learning.
SMILE (Sunday Meetups 4 Innovative Learning Expeditions) is about creating and fostering a community of self-Directed life-long learners, who are active seekers of learning experiences beyond the formal School or College environs.
In this age of rapid knowledge obsolescence, social learning in groups of common shared interests is often sought and found. There is no age restriction, but the nature of themes chosen for a specific date, would indicate who would benefit more from them, but all themes could also have a generic interest.
The main benefit would be 'learning' though in a diverse group there would also be 'social' learning as well as bonding and making new friends.
Their next Meetup is scheduled for Sunday 10th July at the WOODs from 10am to 1pm. In advance to that Meetup, the team is doing a one week Whatsapp course on the same theme beginning Monday 4th July till Saturday 9th July in which even those who can't attend in person on the 10th can participate. We will create a separate Whatsapp group for that which will start getting formed from Monday June 27th. Those who are interested in joining the Whatsapp group for that course module may please make a request accordingly. This group continues as a general group interested in the broad issues.
It is our endeavour to build these skills, competencies and abilities amongst all those who would like to pursue them," says Prof. Pant.
For ease of access, the primary model of learning is to use mobile phones for learning, with WhatsApp as the main communication tool.
The WhatsApp based course on ' Learning with MOOCs' will be launched from Monday 4th July 2016. Prospective learners can request to join here. The key resource person for this course is Dr Ramesh C Sharma and Prof MM Pant is an enabler/facilitator.
For in person interaction, there will be a SMILE Meetup on Sunday 10th July 2016.
Topic 1.2: MOOCs in the USA , UK, Europe, Singapore and Australia…..
Topic 2.2: How to choose an appropriate MOOC?
Thursday July 7th :Day 4: Learning how to learn?
Topic 5.3:Beyond MOOCs : what next?


Wow!... I'd really amazed when I knew that there was a community out there that truly committed to breastfeeding. I found this page at FB when my husband brought one page regarding breastfeeding in The Star newspaper. It's a "Human Milk 4 Human Babies" To the founder: Nadine Ghows. You did a great job. May ALLAH bless you and help all mommies to ease their job to ensure their babies can breastfeed at least 6 months and the best is 2 years!.
If I need to find a wet nurses to my son. I promise to myself..I'll do it. At least, I give a try !. InshaALLAH. Let's pray!


It seems these days that everyone is glued to their smartphones – and thanks to a new concept design by Shikun Sun, an industrial design student at Sheffield Hallam University in England, the visually impaired could be included in this trend. The DrawBraille Mobile Phone is a cell phone that uses a braille board and finger pads that allow the blind to communicate efficiently. And this isn't any old phone either – the design includes a book reader, text messaging, email, and even music capabilities.
The DrawBraille Mobile Phone has two main pieces. The first is comprised of 35 braille buttons in five rows. Since the main keyboard cannot hold the entire braille text, there are also raised "scroll up" and "scroll down" buttons for more options. The second piece is similar to the touch screen on many smart phones, but with a unique raised surface for information input. The user can tap and drag and even create their own shortcuts and words through a combination of commands.
The phone's battery life can be measured on its side, with 5 raised dots each representing 20% of its juice that retract once their percentage is used up. There is no news on the production of this super smart braille phone but the concept alone is getting lots of attention.
I will like to know where can I find it and for how much?

Having the right in-app strategy can deliver transformative results for any brand, across various campaign objectives. Today, when 60% of all online consumption is happening on mobile, users spend over 90% of their mobile device time in-app, with entertainment, gaming and productivity apps taking the lion's share of that time. This trend signals a major shift in user behavior - mobiles are fast becoming the primary screen with apps having become the most frequented digital destinations for users across the world.
What's interesting about the rise of mobile app usage is that globally, users' mobile consumption patterns are not consistent - they vary through the day based on factors such as time of day, app category, user demographic and much more. InMobi conducted a research study on how Australian users engage with their mobile devices throughout the day. This research study goes to show how crucial it is for marketers to build an adaptive in-app programmatic strategy, enabling them to tailor their brand messages to changing user moments throughout the day.

Куст событий () — вероятностная модель, представляющая собой множество событий и связей между ними. К примеру, куст событий может быть использован для того, чтобы вычислить вероятности неисправностей узлов аппаратуры по наличию или отсутствию ряда признаков основываясь на априори известных зависимостях между неисправностями и их проявлениями.

Формально говоря, куст событий представляет собой ациклический мультиграф , где:
  — произвольное непустое множество, называемое  множеством событий;
  — семейство подмножеств множества , называемое семейством дуг куста событий;
  — произвольное непустое множество, называемое множеством меток куста событий;
  — функция , называемая функцией распределения вероятностей куста событий;
  — функция , называемая функцией маркировки дуг куста событий.

Обозначим через  функцию, отображающую множество дуг куста событий во множество событий, являющихся для этих дуг «левыми концами», то есть множества вида . Аналогично определим .

На практике распространение получили так называемые классические кусты событий, которые выражают сложные связи между событиями посредством конъюнкции и дизъюнкции. С помощью дизъюнкции реализуются высказывания вида «из  следует либо , либо , либо , либо », а с помощью конъюнкции — высказывания вида «если одновременно верно  и , то верно ; в противном случае — верно ». Множество меток таких кустов состоит из двух элементов: . Функция маркировки ставит в соответствие метку  по следующему правилу:

Дугу куста событий  будем называть дугой ИЛИ-типа, если , и
дугой И-типа, если . Для дуг ИЛИ-типа выполнено свойство

а для дуг И-типа — следующие два свойства:

Классические кусты легко рисовать: события изображаются прямоугольниками с текстом, поясняющим смысл этого события. Зависимости между событиями (то есть дуги) изображаются стрелочками двух типов: с точкой (ИЛИ-типа) и с правым поворотом (И-типа).

Байесовский вывод на кусте событий осуществляется с помощью сведения к задаче вывода в байесовской сети доверия.

Оказывается, что кусты событий довольно удобны в приложениях: сравнительно легко рисуются и выглядят менее избыточными, чем более обобщенные конструкции (к примеру, байесовские сети доверия).

Кусты событий применяются, в основном, при оценке рисков в науках о Земле. К примеру, в вулканологии.

These communities areclassed as 'hard to reach', but it's notthat they are hard to reach, we justneed to know how to reach them.Our multicultural focus provides a personalised approach to community engagement, to support the mental well-being of all communities.Barbershop Birmingham Barbershop is a ground-breaking programme in Birmingham that has a holistic, social-based approach to engaging our communities – especially youth – on the issues around mental health and well-being. Its main products are a citywide magazine and a website, but these are just a small part of the whole venture. Barbershop is a programme that offers opportunities – through education in IT, website development, report writing, journalism, volunteering opportunities and payments for work undertaken towards the magazine and web-site. It engages young men on the subject of mental health and well-being in a way that is meaningful and relevant to those individuals. Barbershop develops cohesion between and within communities and promotes individual self-esteem and resilience through active engagement, effectively challenging the stigma that exists around mental health problems. All of the key partners in Barbershop Birmingham are Birmingham-based, not-forprofit social enterprises and third sector organisations. The BeautyShop magazine Common Unity, as the lead organisation for the Barbershop programme, has supported the development of Barbershop magazine. We have developed a female version of the magazine with support from Preston, the founders of the Barbershop brand. The magazines have contributed to effective community cohesion.


Very early in my running career, I think some time in 9th grade, I dreamed of running cross country races in Europe. The stories I had heard, likely exaggerated, left me curious and intrigued. Stories such as: you'll be running in mud up to your neck and if the weather did not permit mud they would ship it in from somewhere. A few years back, I got my chance to run in a genuine European Cross Country Race.
such as Olympic medalists and World Champions.
see most of Europe the week before a big race.
that's a good point. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain at a meet like this.
The day of the meet was one to remember. The meet started in the morning with young children who ran 1000 meters and ended with the Senior Men's 10.5K race (my race). In-between were hours of age-group competition at various distances. The meet was a real event. The crowd was surprisingly large. There were a few thousand spectators at least. Anyone who has been to a cross-country meet knows that crowds are rarely an issue. There were clusters of young Belgian fans following the Kenyan contingent trying to get autographs while they warmed up. Another impressive item was the media coverage. There were TV stations actually covering the meet!
One odd thing about European meets is that the distances tend to be arbitrary. For- instance, my race was 10.5K. Not 10K, but 10.5K. Why? I haven't a clue. Another peculiarity is that despite having plenty of space, they tend to run several small loops. The loop was over 1200 meters, and we ran it 8 times. Most U.S. meets try to avoid such repetition. Maybe it was to make the race more fan friendly.
Boys do it in the Big League.
runner just ahead of me shoveled up a piece of mud the size of a softball and managed to hurl it 20 feet into the air. This mud ball was heading on a direct course to hit somewhere on my person. For a split second, I thought it was headed for my face, but I must have misjudged it because it landed dead in the middle of my chest with a thud. I then realized that the stories and rumors I had heard were by most accounts true.
and plenty of mud. The earth beneath seemed to soak up the rain in a way that the ground felt like a swamp. Very few sections of the course were firm enough to get a good push off. These conditions made for a very exhausting race. I felt that I had raced a half marathon.
prize money! A race official was in the finishing chute handing out wads of Belgian Francs to finishers that were due. I think I received 50 Belgian Francs or about $27! My time for the 10.5K course was 35:05. I finished a full 2:50 behind the winner, Richard Limo, a 20-year-old Kenyan. I didn't have my greatest race but even with a great race, I may have been 27th, only a mere 1:50 behind the winner.
earth. Was I humbled by my experience? Absolutely. Did I learn valuable lessons about racing? Definitely. The main thing I learned about myself is: I would rather be a small fish in the biggest pond than a big fish in a small pond.
How do I fuel my running?
Check out The Portman Calculator!
Do you ever wonder how much fuel to take in on a long run? The Portman Calculator can help. You simply plug in your activity (running), intensity, duration and your weight and the calculator generates a recommended fueling program. I think it works pretty well. You will create a real problem for yourself (fading, bonking, dying etc.) if you do not fuel enough during your long runs. You can also over do it leading to bloating and stomach distress.

a Current smoker, reported cigarette use at time of survey (every day or sometimes); past smoker, reported smoking 100 cigarettes in lifetime but no current cigarette use.
Field/Data
In the U.S., the crude prevalence of current smoking during 2015-2016 was lower among older adults (from 21% in those aged 20-39 years vs. 7% in those aged 70+ years), whereas the prevalence of past smoking was greater with increasing age (from 16% to 42%).
Males were more likely than females to be both current (21% vs. 16%) and past (30% vs. 20%) smokers; non-Hispanic whites were the most likely to be current or past smokers (47% vs. 40% and 34% in non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican-Americans, respectively); and in adults with a BMI <30 kg/m² and BMI 30+ kg/m², the prevalence for both past and current smoking were relatively the same.
Chart Explanation: In 2015-2016, the crude prevalence of current and past smoking in U.S. adults varied by age, gender, race/ethnicity, and BMI. The prevalence of current smoking was lowest in older adults (6.9% for 70+years) and highest in younger adults (21.0% in 20-39 years); whereas past smoking was lowest in younger adults (16.0% in 20-39 years) and highest in older adults (41.5% in 70+ years). Differential mortality likely explains the decreased prevalence of smoking in the oldest (70+) group. Males were more likely than females to be both current (21.2% vs. 16.0%) and past (30.2% vs. 20.5%) smokers. Non-Hispanic whites were the most likely to have any smoking history (47.3% vs. 40.1% and 34.2% in non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican-Americans, respectively) and had the highest prevalence of past smoking (29.3% vs.15.8% and 18.7% in non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican-Americans, respectively). The crude prevalence for current and past smokers was approximately the same when comparing adults with obesity (BMI 30+ kg/m²) and those without obesity (BMI <30 kg/m²); with both having a crude prevalence of 18% for current smoking, and greater than 20% for past smoking.
The NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) is a nationally representative, cross-sectional survey that is currently conducted every 2 years by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics to examine disease prevalence and trends over time in noninstitutionalized U.S. civilian residents.
Smoking is a putative risk factor for CKD, and the risk may differ by race/ethnicity. Some cohort studies have shown that smoking is an independent risk factor for development (Fox et al., 2004) or progression (Hallan & Orth, 2011; Lash et al., 2009) of CKD, particularly related to decline in kidney function, in white and African-American populations. However, other studies, including a screening study (Jolly et al., 2009), found that smoking was not a risk factor for CKD among Alaskans and American Indians. Several mechanisms for increased risk of CKD have been proposed, including increased environmental exposure to cadmium among smokers (Mortensen et al., 2011). The survey consists of a standardized in-home interview and a physical examination and blood and urine collection at a mobile examination center (MEC). Here we examined data from the 1999-2000, 2001-2002, 2003-2004, 2005-2006, 2007-2008, 2009-2010, 2011-2012, 2013-2014, 2015-2016, and 2017-2018 NHANES. Smoking history (cigarette use) was determined by questionnaire as part of the home interview for those participants aged 20 years or older.

Buchanan Street looks to European expansion
UNITED STATES - Buchanan Street Partners is considering investing in Europe for the first time by using the proceeds from a recent sale.
This became a possibility as the company recently sold a majority interest in the firm to the TCW Group, and part of the proceeds from the sale will now allow Buchanan to expand its efforts into the European markets, according to Buchanan's CEO Robert Brunswick.
"Moving into Europe is a logical step for our company. The transaction with TCW allows us to do this much quicker than we could have done this on own," said Brunswick.
The company is planning a major trip to Europe next spring to investigate some of the markets, and is taking 35 developers it has worked with in the United States to Prague and Budapest.
A likely long-term scenario for Buchanan is it would setup a regional office in Europe sometime in the future, to extend its real estate strategy of making value-added or core plus transactions through local partners.
More importantly, it is anticipated the deals it might end up doing in Europe could be larger than it has traditionally done in the United States as the transaction with TCW will allow them to raise more capital and go after larger deals.
Real estate deals have traditionally been in the region of $5m (€3.4m) to $15m of equity on a total transaction worth between $20m to $50m.
The firm's next commingled fund, the Buchanan Fund VI, could have a total equity raising of $750m-$1bn and could include some deals in Europe.
